Or do I trick out my 250 now, be happy with it, all the while knowing that the 300 is nicer and that now I won't be able to afford it??
So $4100 for what you got plus upgrades versus $6500 for a new one that has the right options...

Are you (and will you really be) unhappy with the bike after you do the mods? And if you buy the new one, will that really make you 159% happier, bike-wise, than you would be with your current bike fixed up the way you want it? Is it possessing the bike that makes you happy or riding the bike?

When I ride, I don't notice the paint or appearance of the exhaust system. I do feel the tires. Happiness and happiness-per-dollar are difficult to measure but may be enlightening to think about. Only you can determine what brings you joy, satisfaction, and contentmemt.
